Rami Lavi opens the show talking about the scary scene on Thursday Night Football between the Bills and Dolphins. Rami says Tua's new contract could alter his decision from the one he made in 2022. Also, Mike McDaniel continues to prove he is a great head coach. Aaron Rodgers had a strongly worded message to Jets fans, imploring them stick with the team through the ups and the downs of a long NFL...

Caleb Williams makes his NFL regular season debut at home against the Titans. Gabe ( @chicago_gabe ), Marshall ( @mharrrisonair ), and Clay ( @clayharbs82 ) give predictions on how much the Bears will pass vs. run, how many takeaways there will be, and they discuss just how good Tennessee is. Plus they predict the playoff teams for the 2024 season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm...

The Tennessee Titans clearly did not feel they came out of the preseason with everything they needed from a personnel standpoint. Not only did they make the mandatory cuts to get to the regular-season limit of 53 players, they subsequently made some trades, claimed three players off waivers and made a handful of other moves. ... Among the biggest surprises of all the transactions is the fact that...

The Titans improved to 2-0 in the preseason with Saturday's 16-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, and they did so with the help of an unlikely hero. Rookie kicker Brayden Narveson made three-fourth-quarter field goals, including a 59-yarder that gave Tennessee its first lead and a 46-yard game-winner as time expired. Even so, the best he can hope is that it was enough for another team to want t...

Robby Stanley of the Nashville morning sports talk show Robbie and Rexrode (102.5-FM, The Game) fills in for the vacationing John Glennon to talk all things Titans. ... The preseason opener against San Francisco ended with the Titans getting a 17-13 win. It started will all of San Francisco's big names on the sideline while most of Tennessee's number-ones played a quarter or more. It ended with pl...

Days before their preseason opener, the Tennessee Titans found out the player they expected to be their starter at right guard, Saadiq Charles, had decided to retire at just 25 years old. Charles' decision creates a new opportunity for 2021 second-round pick Dillon Radunz, and adds to the questions that already exist about the offensive line overall, the right side in particular. ... More than two...

Jeffery Simmons got into a couple of fights during the first of this year's Tennessee Titans training camp practices with players in full pads. It's not necessarily a huge deal now, but it is not the kind of behavior that can be repeated during a game, and -- for one of the team's leaders -- it certainly does not set a good example. ... Things got worse when, after practice, Simmons confronted a l...

Will Levis had the worst completion percentage among all qualifying NFL quarterbacks in 2023. Head coach Brian Callahan has said improvement in that regard is a central mission for the staff and for Levis this season. Some of that improvement will have to come from Levis himself, via his decision-making and his understanding of a new playbook and offensive philosophy, not to mention experience. So...

The Tennessee Titans prepped for training camp by announcing seven hires and 13 promotions within the football operations and personnel departments. In case anyone wondered how much power general manager Ran Carthon currently wields, it is apparent now that he has things set up the way he wants. ... Ralph Ockenfels announced his retirement after 26 seasons in the front office, most recently as Vic...

The Fourth of July falls at a time of inactivity for the NFL, but for the Tennessee Titans, it is an unforgettable day. It has now been 15 years since Steve McNair was murdered in Nashville, and the 2003 NFL co-MVP remains the standard by which all of the franchise's quarterbacks of the Titans era (1999-present) are measured. ... Countering the optimism among the fan base about the likelihood that...

The Tennessee Titans will be a different team in 2024. They have a new head coach in Brian Callahan, a bunch of new players led by wide receiver Calvin Ridley and cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, and hope that things will be better. Without question, there are reasons for optimism. So, what are they? ... National media outlets and sports betting services are not that optimistic. In fact, they are partic...

It is mandatory minicamp week for the Tennessee Titans, which means all players under contract are in attendance at the facility. Not all of them are involved in on-field work, though. What is keeping them in the training room is anybody's guess, though, because -- as was the case with the former coaching staff -- no one is willing to discuss injuries at this time of year. ... One player not takin...

DeAndre Hopkins was as good as advertised in his first season with the Tennessee Titans. In his first full offseason with them, he is showing that he is nothing like the sullen, disinterested participant, as he was portrayed at other stops in his career. ... This week, the veteran wide receiver answered questions about Treylon Burks, Tennessee's 2022 first-round pick, and then took to social media...

The Tennessee Titans will open the 2024 season on the road against the Chicago Bears. That means they get first crack at the first pick in this year's draft, quarterback Caleb Williams. ... This will be the fourth time in five years that Tennessee plays against the quarterback who was taken first overall. For the most part, they have done well in those encounters. ... Williams is not the only quar...

The Titans prepared for this weekend's rookie camp by signing the last four of this year's seven draft picks to contracts. ... Ahead of that camp, veterans are engaged in organized team activities. One person who is not there -- but is coming -- is veteran wide receiver Tyler Boyd, who previously played in Cincinnati and had new Tennessee coach Brian Callahan as his offensive coordinator. ... Alon...

After they selected tackle JC Latham in the first round, the Tennessee Titans doubled down on big men when they chose Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, the 2023 Outland Trophy winner, in the second round. At 366 pounds, Sweat is the heaviest draft pick in franchise history, topping by just a couple pounds the mark Latham set a day earlier. ... The last time Tennessee drafted a player who wei...

The Tennessee Titans surprised virtually no one when they selected a tackle in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. With a glaring need at the position and a host of top prospects available, they went with Alabama's JC Latham (6-foot-6, 360 pounds), who was a two-year starter at right tackle in college. ... Latham is unusually athletic for his size was a left tackle in high school, where he beca...

With one week to go before the 2024 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans still hold the No. 7 overall selection. Speculation on who they will pick there centers on Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt, who projects as a player who could step in immediately at left tackle. Former NFL executive Mark Dominik said this week, however, that the Titans can still get a good tackle in the second round (No. 38 overall) and...

When he addressed his players at the start of the offseason program, first-year coach Brian Callahan said he wants the Tennessee Titans to be "relentless and resilient." Another professional sports team in Nashville has gotten a lot of mileage recently out of the former while not long ago the Titans showed plenty of the latter. ... Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson continues to entert...

When he met the Nashville media for the first time, recently acquired cornerback L'Jarius Sneed declared himself "a hell of a player." The personal assessment came off as well-earned confidence as opposed to blustery arrogance and given his play for the Kansas City Chiefs in recent years, it is easy to understand why he feels that way. ... The pairing of Sneed and free-agent addition Chi...

The Tennessee Titans' offseason spending spree continued with the acquisition of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. The transaction did not cost the Titans much in terms of what they sent to the Chiefs, but they did agree to a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with Sneed. ... The trade not only solidifies Tennessee's depth chart at the position, it gives th...
